China Garden was one of the first Chinese restaurants in the Taunton area when it opened in 1969.

China Garden was one of the first Chinese restaurants in the Taunton area when it opened in 1969. And today, despite dozens of competitors, it’s still one of the most popular spots for traditional Chinese fare.
Manager Margaret Mao has been a China Garden employee for over 10 years, and as the wife of owner William Mao, she has a hand in all operations, including the kitchen, where she pays special attention to the food.
“It’s important to eat healthy food,” she said. “The economy is bad but we still order the best quality food.”
Excluding the well-known fried appetizers, she said all of the main dishes are steamed to keep them tasty and healthy.
“I’m very happy to see the customers happy and healthy,” she said.
And they keep coming back for more, even in the midst of a recession. “We haven’t lost our customers,” she said. “The customers advertise for us.”
